1340 Jacks Road, Monterey

Kitchen   Interior   Exterior

This week’s property pick is hard to put into words. Not yet on the market, this home should be listed within the week. I was lucky enough to bring some clients through yesterday for the property’s first showing. The grounds itself take your breath away. The home is located at 1340 Jacks Road in the Del Monte course golf area of Monterey, a favorite among long time locals for its sun and convenience. The property sits on 1.25 flat acres with a completely renovated adobe rancher with a rich sense of history. It is a 2,000sf rustic contemporary home with 3 bedrooms and gorgeous custom built-ins featured in almost every room. The grounds surrounding the home are like no other I’ve ever seen and are designed for outdoor summer evenings under the stars. And yes, there is also a well! From the moment you enter the driveway you are mesmerized and feel as if you’re in your own private resort. This is indoor/outdoor living at its best and should be featured in a magazine! With almost $1M invested in landscaping alone, I cannot put into words how taken I am with the property. You simply need to experience it for yourself.

I want to address the National Association of REALTOR®s' recent settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit that has been in the news so much this year. One of the settlement terms is that the MLS will no longer allow for listing agents to make offers of compensation to buyer’s agents, which is how it has traditionally been handled. To comply with this settlement, the MLS removed all offers of buyer’s agent compensation as of Tuesday, August 13th.

I had been referred to potential buyers who were relocating to Carmel from Colorado. They were the type of buyers that could be successful in the crazy days of COVID. Decisive, ready and able. It was March, 2021 and a gorgeous four bedroom home on one of my favorite streets in Carmel Valley had just hit the market. I called my clients and the husband literally hoped on a flight the very next morning. He boarded a plane with only a cup of coffee in ...
